Bonddad's excellent recommended diary today was an excellent reminder of the perils facing twenty-somethings and the American economy in general.
However, there are a lot of misconceptions still out there about this issue, including and especially regarding college graduate employment figures. As one commenter responded to bondad:
College Grads Can't Find Jobs? Can that be right? The BLS tables show that the unemployment rate for college graduates currently is 2.1%...Unfortunately for many college graduates, it seems that the reading and writing standard English and speaking clearly requirements present insurmountable hurdles. Unfortunately, there are many people (especially boomers) who carry this prejudice, and I feel it needs to be addressed.
